After training as a graphic designer at Art School, I had a successful career in the advertising industry for many years. During this time painting was a hobby which I indulged at every opportunity. With the advent of computerised graphics I quickly discovered that pushing a mouse around wasn't at all exciting. My pictures were by now selling quite well so I decided it was a good time for a career change to full time artist.

I would say that I am an emotional painter rather than an intellectual one. If I see something that gives me a buzz, I'll try to paint it. Usually it is colour and the play of sun and shadow that attract me to a subject. Woodland, the rural scene, watery reflections and boats are images that never fail to interest me. However having said that, I do believe that wherever you look there is a painting waiting to be done - it's just a question of seeing it!
